A similiar thing happened to me a few months ago. At a flea market I bought a nice illegal club chip for $5. When I inquired if he had more it turned out he had 400 more. He wanted $800 for the rest of the chips. I had to explain to him that I would pass since I could never get rid of that many chips since the number of collectors is small. I this guy has 100 or more of the Horseshoe chips think about how you will get rid of them before buying them.
